Glitter and Shine with Just A Scrappin

Hope everyone is having a great week!

This week over at Just A Scrappin' they are challenging us to 

GLITTER AND SHINE

I LOVE this challenge! My mom calls me the glitter queen! If it sparkles, I want it!

I decided to go a little low key and try some new products I got back in May that happen to be shiney

So here is the main card I did

 

 I loved it so much I did 4 more!!!

 I started with cardstock that I cut starts from my cricut

 The white and purple stars are using Mudpuddles. Its like sand in glue! And there is of course glitter mixed in as well :) You just spread it on with a spatula.

 The silver and blue stars are using Melissa Frances glass glitter. When you use this make sure to use a thick glue like Beacons or ZipDry so this thick glitter has something to stick into.

 Once everything was try and I cut off all the excess Mudpuddles, this is what you get!

And some close ups of the other cards I did:

 Sweet and Simple Baby Boy

 Not sure what theme I want to make this one yet. I'm thinking birthday.

 I think I am going to add a guitar to this one a make it a rockin out card.

and I love this Christmas one. Happy Christmas in July!!!

I am off to Chicago this weekend for 3 days, then to Cedar Point for a  day so check back next week for lots of updates!!!

Make sure to check out Just A Scrappin and join me in this great challenge!!

Have a great week!

Continuing my New Years Resolution

Hello again!!!

Today is my cousin Kim's birthday. I know I'm bad that I didn't make the card until today : /

And since the post office is closed tomorrow she won't get it until later this week, but she will get it!

Wee Memories last challenge started today. I will miss these challenges. They offered a sketch for today. I am also entering my 3rd project into UnstampaBelles Anything Goes Challenge.

I loved the papers I used for my Guest Design Team Project for this week at For Fun Challenges (Come back Wednesday to see it and remember you have until Tuesday to play along with the anything goes challenge) so I wanted to use them again. I had some great Melissa Frances birthday stickers that went with them perfectly. Here is what I created

I also used a Tim Holtz texture fade, some bling and a flower from my stash and some Mud Puddles I got for Christmas. What is a Mudd Puddle? The one I used is there in the center of the flower. It is colored sand all in glue. It is great! I just took my spatula and globbed some out for the center of my flower and let it dry. I didn't have to mess with glue and messy lose sand. I also used Quick Quotes Purple Passion ink on the paper and flower.

I hope you and my cousin like the card.
